Killer whale pods have been attacking boats in Spain and Portugal since July (Credit: Spanish Ministry of Transport, Mobility, and Urban Agenda)

Killer whales, or orcas, are the largest members of the oceanic dolphin family. While the intelligent mammals, which hunt in large pods, are known for their orchestrated attacks on unsuspecting marine animals, they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The unusual hostility is puzzling scientists worldwide.

        There in the dolphin family. So they are considered dolphins. Think of them as cousins. :)

          It’s kinda both right. Orca are dolphins and both Orca and dolphins are whales. There are two types of whales. Toothed whales and baleen whales (blue whales, humpback whales, grey whales etc) and most fall in the latter category but whales like dolphins, Orcas, sperm whale, and beluga whales will give you an idea of the difference between the two.
